Chapter 341: Cloud Mist Nine
Chapter 341: Cloud Mist Nine
After the incident with Sun Shouhe's assassination attempt, Li Qian returned to Shazhou Beast Mastery University as if nothing had happened.
He ate when he was supposed to, drank when he was supposed to, and studied when it was time to study.
As a traverser, one advantage he had was his excellent psychological qualities.
Of course, his mental fortitude was just one reason; another was that Li Qian clearly understood that strength was the foundation of everything.
With strength, even when facing such assassination attempts, there was no need to worry.
Without strength, even if one were to escape by chance once, problems would inevitably arise sooner or later.
Therefore, this incident served as a wake-up call for Li Qian, reminding him to avoid unnecessary risks and to refrain from leaving the Shazhou Beast Mastery University unless absolutely required.
Even if he had to leave, it was best to travel alone to minimize the exposure of his movements.
This time, when Sun Shouhe attempted to intercept him, it was likely that his movements were leaked by Piro or An Waduo and their group.
Li Qian believed that it wasn't intentional; it was just that with multiple people involved, it was nearly impossible to keep every piece of information from being revealed.
Time passed quickly, and a week had gone by in a flash.
During that week, aside from his studies, Li Qian spent most of his time researching the evolution methods of the Rock Monster.
Currently, with three task bars already filled, he couldn't afford to have no response plan in case of an emergency, so Li Qian had to make the most of his time and strive to complete his research as soon as possible, freeing up a task bar.
And from the current situation, there was no doubt that the evolution method of the Rock Monster was the most likely research task to be completed in a short period.
After a week of contemplation and research, absorbing a vast amount of knowledge from books, Li Qian made significant progress.
Recalling the dark red rock guarded by a group of Rock Monsters and Rock Giants, Li Qian couldn't help but murmur to himself, "So that thing is called the Flow Cloud Crimson Star Stone."
Having figured out the true information about the mutated Crimson Star Stone, and after several weeks of contemplation, Li Qian also researched another evolution condition—the "Stone Armor" skill at the Perfect level.
After clarifying the conditions required for evolution, Li Qian's face revealed a complex expression, and he shook his head with a sigh, "The task progress is at 100%, but I can't submit it now."
It wasn't that he was truly unable to submit the task; rather, submitting the task at this time would yield limited rewards.
It would only earn him a single achievement point, and while Li Qian needed achievement points, he didn't need just one.
"The problem must lie with this Flow Cloud Crimson Star Stone..." Li Qian analyzed, his voice tinged with helplessness.
"Given the rarity of the Flow Cloud Crimson Star Stone, even knowing the evolution method doesn't provide much benefit." Li Qian let out a bitter laugh and continued his contemplation.
Although Li Qian had already grasped the evolution method of the Rock Monster, this method wasn't particularly significant.
Even if the Rock Monster evolved into a Rock Giant, its value wouldn't be much higher than that of the Flow Cloud Crimson Star Stone. Moreover, the Flow Cloud Crimson Star Stone was incredibly rare and had no market value.
"Let's see if there's something that can replace the Flow Cloud Crimson Star Stone..." Li Qian thought, putting aside the task progress for the moment.
To make this evolution method truly valuable, it was crucial to find an extraordinary resource that could substitute for the Flow Cloud Crimson Star Stone.
As he thought, Li Qian couldn't find an answer, so he decided to head to the library to immerse himself in books. That day, as evening approached, he emerged from the library.
Just as he stepped out of the library's doors, he came face to face with a familiar figure. Recognizing the person, Li Qian immediately approached and greeted her, "Professor Yan, it's been a while. What have you been researching lately?"
Indeed, the person was none other than Professor Yan, who had provided Li Qian with the inspiration for the Blazing Skyglide Eagle research.
It could be said that without Professor Yan's accidental research on the Skyglide Eagle, Li Qian would not have been able to research the Blazing Skyglide Eagle.
Moreover, after the fact, Li Qian shared the evolution method of the Blazing Skyglide Eagle with Professor Yan, which earned him a grateful smile.
When Professor Yan saw Li Qian emerge from the library, she immediately approached him with enthusiasm.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Professor Yan seized the opportunity to bring up the recent topic, saying, "I'm researching an Extraordinary Potion that can guide Companion Beasts through mutated evolution."
Without much thought, Li Qian directly asked, "How's the research going?"
Professor Yan and Li Qian walked side by side, and she sighed, "The research has made some progress, but there are also some issues. How about you help me analyze it?"
Li Qian was surprised by Professor Yan's directness and paused, "Sure, tell me more..."
"It's like this..." Professor Yan smiled bitterly, recounting the situation in response to Li Qian's inquiring gaze.
After listening to Professor Yan's explanation, Li Qian fell into deep thought. After a moment of contemplation, he shared his insights, "In my opinion, the 'Cloud Mist Nine' mutation-guiding potion you've developed is too random, and its effects are completely uncontrollable!"
Professor Yan nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's exactly what's been troubling me."
Li Qian frowned in thought, stroking his chin, "But your 'Cloud Mist Nine' is a pretty good catalyst potion..."
A hint of confusion flashed in Professor Yan's eyes as she listened to Li Qian, "What's a catalyst potion?"
Li Qian explained slowly, "Since using your 'Cloud Mist Nine' doesn't allow control over the mutated evolution's outcome, it implies that there will be both good and bad results."
"Yes," Professor Yan nodded. At this moment, she had none of the airs of an evolution master; she was more like a humble student eager to learn.
Li Qian didn't waste time and continued, "There's no need to mention the bad outcomes. The good evolution results should provide some inspiration..."
"Wait..." As Li Qian spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and a thunderclap sounded in his mind.
He stood frozen in place, unmoving, and Professor Yan, seeing this, chose not to interrupt but instead stood quietly by his side.
As a cultivation master, she understood that at this moment, Li Qian was likely deep in a state of epiphany.
When he woke up, he might have a breakthrough. However, the precondition was that this state must not be disturbed.
At this moment, Professor Yan stood by his side, subtly guarding him.
"Professor Yan, you've helped me tremendously this time!" After about ten minutes, Li Qian suddenly snapped out of his trance.
Professor Yan was perplexed, "What?"
Li Qian didn't bother to explain but instead asked, "By the way, do you still have some 'Cloud Mist Nine' potions?"
Professor Yan replied in a daze, "Yes!"
Li Qian's expression was slightly excited, "Please get me a few tubes!"
"No, sell me a few tubes!"
Professor Yan immediately waved her hand, "There's no need to talk about buying and selling between us. The value of 'Cloud Mist Nine' isn't that high anyway."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian expressed his gratitude, "Then I'll trouble you, Professor Yan."
Although Professor Yan didn't understand, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in her eyes. Li Qian's state reminded her of a particular situation.
She dazedly took out three test tubes from her spatial equipment and, after doing so, suddenly remembered another purpose for her visit, "Oh, I almost forgot. There's one more thing. Here, take this!"
